The Los Angeles Rams are now planning to place Aqib Talib on injured reserve because of his rib injury, the cornerback confirmed to ESPN's Lindsey Thiry.
Talib missed Sunday's loss to the San Francisco 49ers with the injury, which he sustained in Week 5 against the Seattle Seahawks.
Talib could return later this season. He must miss at least eight weeks, and each team can activate only two players from IR.
